• Turkey has 26 million “Internet Users” and is No.11 in Country Worldwide. Internet penetration rate 37% and Turkey’s penetration is promising for future growth (European Medium 59%). *

• There are 7 million household, and four persons average live in per a house. That statistic data shows that every computer owner use and share internet, but Turkey’s population is approximately 72 million. Roughly we could say that computer owners rate 36% of Turkey population, so there are more way to go.

• Each 2 of 3 families, live in cities has one computer least. Marmara region is in the first place by 76.2% computer owning, but Souteastern Region’s computer owning rate 25%. Subjects, when they’re asked that what reason to not buy a computer, gave “can not save money for” answer by 49.2% rate**
